Beau vin din cupe mari
    şi se ung cu cele mai bune uleiuri,
        dar nu sunt mâhniți din pricina dezastrului lui Iosif!
De aceea, ei vor merge acum în captivitate în fruntea captivilor,
    şi vor înceta astfel strigătele de veselie şi lenevirea!»

Stăpânul Domn a jurat pe Sine Însuşi. Astfel zice Domnul, Dumnezeul Oştirilor:

«Mi-e scârbă de mândria lui Iacov
    şi îi urăsc fortăreţele;
voi da pe mâna duşmanului cetatea
    şi tot ce este în ea!
